As a founder, I'm afraid of being judged for my past, but talking about mental health is too important to stay silent. In this episode, I share my story with addiction and speak with expert Karl Shallowhorn about why so many entrepreneurs are prone to substance abuse. This is a crucial conversation for any founder who uses alcohol or other substances to deal with stress. We provide a clear framework for identifying when a habit becomes an addiction, discuss how to overcome the stigma and ask for help, and offer a script for how to talk to someone you're worried about.
